Oh please. Every verse is either taken out of context or is poorly interpreted. Naturally. Wave away all things that disagree with your personal interpretations of Scripture. Makes things pretty easy, to just say "everything is taken out of context", rather than actually defend your beliefs...

I'll bet you haven't even read the vast majority of verses I quoted... You just presume you are right.

If your concerned that Mary will not ask the Lord to ensure your faith not fail you, why not ask the Lord.

Sometimes I do, other times I ask Jesus through Mary, depending on my mood. Going through Mary is a more humble way of coming to God. Mary's will matches God's Will, so in either case, it is God's will being accomplished.

Regards

Of course I presume I'm correct. Why else would I be here. ;O)

How many times do you feel you need to ask Jesus to keep you in the faith? Do you think He'll forget? Do you think He didn't answer your prayer the first time?

When I ask my friends to pray for me, it is not because I believe that their wills match God's Will. Coupled with the "Queen of Heaven" business, it really does not appear that Mary's intercession is anything like asking a friend to pray for us at all.
